Abstract

We report on measurements by the E864 experiment at the BNL-AGS of the yields of light nuclei in collisions of [Formula Presented] with beam momentum of [Formula Presented] on targets of [Formula Presented] and [Formula Presented] The yields are reported for nuclei with baryon number [Formula Presented] up to [Formula Presented] and typically cover a rapidity range from [Formula Presented] to [Formula Presented] and a transverse momentum range of approximately [Formula Presented] We calculate coalescence scale factors [Formula Presented] from which we extract model-dependent source dimensions and collective flow velocities. We also examine the dependences of the yields on baryon number, spin, and isospin of the produced nuclei.
